Pros

One of the best parts of working here is that it’s a smaller company, which means management is super accessible. They genuinely try their best to create a positive and supportive work environment, and it shows. The meme game in the company Slack channel is on point! The team culture is phenomenal, management sets the tone, but your coworkers really make the difference. Everyone is so helpful and encouraging -it feels like you're all in it together. The work itself is definitely challenging, there’s no sugarcoating that, but in the best way. You’re constantly learning, especially when it comes to managing tight deadlines and juggling multiple projects. It pushes you, but in a way that sharpens your skills and makes you better at what you do. What I really appreciated was the variety of projects. It keeps things interesting and gives you exposure to different industries. Plus, your writing skills will grow like crazy, you’re writing all the time and always being pushed to improve. It’s fast-paced and demanding, but also fun, dynamic, and incredibly rewarding. You will learn A LOT about the RFP world, so if you want to start in that industry, this is a great place to begin. You gain a solid foundation in a strong RFP process that will support you throughout your career.

Cons

Because it’s a smaller company, the compensation isn’t quite as competitive as what you might find in similar roles elsewhere. That said, they do offer a monthly bonus based on the hours you work, which helps supplement the hourly rate. While the base pay is on the lower side compared to industry standards, the experience, team culture, and learning opportunities truly add a lot of value to your time there.

Pros

Everyone at the company is great, probably the best coworkers and leadership I've had in my career. It's also definitely a place where if you work hard and do your job well you are rewarded.

Cons

The health insurance has pretty high employee cost but that's really the standard if you aren't working at a big corporation.

Pros

- Very friendly people - Remote work - If you have zero experience on your resume and really need a job + experience this is an ok option

Cons

- You will not make good money at this company, They pay 18/hr (on salary) and that is the pay for (most) employees regardless of the position - You MUST start on a 1099 for the first 3 months - you won't become salaried until the 90 day mark - There isn't very much growth opportunity, nor is the company willing to give you a raise. If you want a raise, expect many additional tasks to be put on your plate, as well as a very close eye kept on you. - They will fire employees who want more money. We had a great employee on the team who really cared about his work, and went above and beyond. They refused to give this individual a promotion then said "he left before he got fired"
